[Normally Finnick would voice or video, but with everything happening and Annie missing, he's not in that great of a mood. So instead, have a text Asgard.]

I'm having a hard time understand why everyone who cooperates is punished in one fashion or another. Can you explain to me why we bust our butts and everything seems to get worse?



[Private to Katniss]

Annie's missing. I'll be by the lake if you need anything.

What happened?

[tradingsecrets]

Annie's missing. I can't find her, and she isn't supposed to leave. I haven't had hardly any time with her.

[Might sound like a selfish request, but he has his reasons.]

[gymnast]

Why isn't she supposed to leave?

[tradingsecrets]

Because if she leaves, she might never get to see me again.

[necrowmantic]

I haven't been punished! I wonder if I'm missing out?

voice;

[tradingsecrets]

It's better if you don't get punished.

[His voice is quiet, not the normally gentle and energetic tone he carries. It's like someone punched him in the gut and he can't breath.]

voice;

[necrowmantic]

Aw, but it sounds like fun.

But geez, you're not sounding very good! Catch any cool new illness?

[And someone was back to hiding from the world, and seriously a little freaked out by the reapers that kept following her around.]

Because our tears work as well as our cries of joy.

You alright, Finnick? What's going on?

I fight hard to protect Annie, Katniss and Rue and all it seems to do is bring things down upon us.

Annie is missing, Gale and Peeta are gone...Now it's just Katniss, Rue and I.

Annie? Oh hell... she's just missing, right, though? Gone grey or such? [She does sound a little worried. Weren't they married?]

What happened this time?

[Text]

[tradingsecrets]

Annie is missing. I can't find her, and I don't know what to do.

[Text]

[foodshortage]

Is she on the list?

action.

[empowers]

[ Katniss doesn't reply on her bracelet. She knows what it means, when he says if she needs anything. He needs her in these moments, just as she's needed him in the past week or so with the loss of Gale and Peeta at once. She isn't as strong inwardly as she presents herself, but she does what she has to in order to keep her friends from losing their own hope. She walks without looking up. She knows the way to the lake easily, and it doesn't take much to propel her forward. When she arrives and sees him, she approaches without a word. Her hand comes to rest on his shoulder. That's all the more she needs to greet him. He'll know. She and Rue and Finnick are it. They have to take care of each other. ]

action.

[tradingsecrets]

[He had lost himself in the knots at his finger tips. It was easy to do that because it stopped him from thinking about anything in particular. He needed a new net anyway because he had wrecked the other during the fighting, so it was a win win situation to him. It was several moments of the weight of Katniss's hand on his shoulder before he registered her presence. It was hard for him to think when Annie was away.

It was easier just to make a net or practice tying knots. But, he forces himself to stop, and he turns to look up at Katniss, jaw set and a he tries to smile, but it's not the usual Finnick smile.]

Sorry, I didn't realize you were here.

[He lets go of the net and cover her hand with his own giving it a gentle squeeze.]

Want to sit down with me?

action.

[empowers]

[ Katniss sees the way his fingers are after he's tied knots for hours. They're not in the best of shape, but she knows he has to. It's how he deals with all of the things his life throws at him. She can't blame him. It helps her, too, when she can get a spare bit of rope. Katniss closes her fingers around his, and squeezes back. There is a solidarity there, between them, that no one can touch. That no one else can hope to understand. ]

There's nothing to apologize for.

[ It isn't even a question. She sits next to him, keeping her hand in his. ]

I'm sorry.

voice.

[livedtwice]

Punished ... how? I wasn't aware that we were being punished.

voice

[tradingsecrets]

My wife is missing. After all that fighting and helping out protecting others and they still took her.

voice

[livedtwice]

Oh.

[His voice is softer after a moment.]

It seems like a lot of people were lost. I wonder if it has something to do with depleted power.

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Scott's already seen Finnick's response to Allison. ]

I'll help you find her.

video;

[tradingsecrets]

[He's been looking, but seeing Scott send him a video he clicks on it. Oh Scott, he's happy to see you, so he'll turn on the video.]

Thanks. I was just, ah...

[Finnick seems to lose focus for a moment, rubbing at his forehead before smiling at the other, though its a careful smile. With everything he had told Scott, it's probably still a surprise. He just looks wrecked and definitely not the man he usually is.]

Sorry. I would appreciate the help.

Where have you looked already? Any specific districts?

[artifacetious]

Here specifically, or in the grand scheme of the universe?

[tradingsecrets]

Here. My wife is missing...

Re: text

[artifacetious]

Missing on what level? 'Didn't come home from work' missing or 'not on the network' missing?
